A Special Day With My Dad

This photo of my dad has become a family favorite.

For day 11 of the Ultimate Blog Challenge, it was suggested that we share a photo from our latest traveling adventure. I recently talked about my trip to Hawaii in another blog post. You can click here if you want to check that out.

I decided to share a special photo instead from a trip I took to Las Vegas in December of 2019, with my son Joseph, to spend some time with my dad and step-mother. What I didn't know at the time was that this was the last visit of it's kind. The next time Joseph and I would visit together in February of 2022, my dad's health had taken a serious turn. In November of 2022 my dad passed away.

In this photo my dad is on a surfboard having fun. It was a great afternoon together, filled with silliness and laughs. We were visiting an immersive art experience at a place called Heazup, where you can be a part of the picture. (I can't tell if the place is still there. I didn't see recent information online.) Some of the immersive art created some great optical illusions on the phone.

Here are some other great moments from that day.

I am so glad we made the time to take this trip and create these memories! We had so many other wonderful moments from this visit as well. Perhaps I will share about those in a future blog post.

What is one of your favorite memories from a trip you took? I would love to hear all about it in the comments.
